    located on the side of alum rock! good place for late night tacos!! they open until 3am on fridays and saturdays!! until 1am other days! i got the taco mar y tierra and the grilled shrimp went so well with the carne asada which was covered in cheese YUMM they give you a big portion too like one taco was so filling for me. the service was good! i believe it's cash only or zelle here to pay.

    Torta milanesa.

    The food is better than the Mexican restaurants near my apartment. I've had the quesabirria quesadilla and the milanesa torta so far. Both were excellent.

    i don't remember which agua fresca this was. there was this one and horchata to choose from.

    i give this place 4 stars. why? the tacos were solid. nothing wrong with the meat, not dry, tortillas were good, onions, cilantro, salsa, all hit the spot. if you've seen this truck on social media. give it try. it's worth it imo. service was alright. no complaints.

    Orale Taco Truck is truly a hidden gem that food lovers should not overlook. I recently visited and ordered the carne asada torta, and I was impressed by the generous amount of meat and the vibrant flavors of the salsas--they really elevate the food. I also tried their chicken tacos, which were very good, but the standout for me was the shrimp with steak tacos. The combination was fantastic, and the handmade tortillas made all the difference in texture and taste. If you're looking for delicious food at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Orale Taco Truck. It's a must-try! They take cash and zelle as payment but FYI they prefer cash

    Solid spot for when you are craving some mexican food reaaaaally late at night (they open till 3am!) and don't feel like driving to Cali Spartan's and dealing with the long wait/crowds. I got two street tacos, one with al pastor and the other with carne asada -- personally, I liked their al pastor more. Is this the best tacos you'll ever have? Definitely not, but it's a solid choice when you want a late night snack and your options are limited! Pretty nice that they give you radish, grilled onions, and a grilled pepper with your order. They also have pickled onions on the table. The orange and green avocado-based salsas were quite nice too. Had no issues with parking and they had a decent amount of tables and chairs laid out. It was also well-lit.

    My go to late night spot is no longer in business so I drove up and down slim rock looking for a taco truck to try. Saw this on the corner where fast bikes is and it decided to try it. Order two Carne Asada and a surf and turf, shrimp with meat mixed together. Tacos were tasty, they had a small condiment wire to dress to tacos how you want. There's a few tables for dining option. The food came out pretty quick once I put my order in.

    Another taco truck in SJ yay!! There is outdoor seating but it does get chilly at night. Food truck is cash only or they also accept Zelle. I would recommend to come here for their burritos cuz this is my fav spot for burritos. I have had tacos and other things on the menu but honestly would just pass and get their burritos yes!! I love their spicy avocado sauce that they have in house, I think it's one of their specialities because they would only have orange and green sauces everywhere else.

    Late night taco truck. We got carne asada super nachos, carne asada burrito, two bottled sodas .. totaling $40 . Please see photos of the nachos, it was terrible and borderline inedible. The cheese was terrible, looked like some processed melted cheese. The carne asada just looked like ground beef ?? There was cheese on the guac, on the pico de gallo, everywhere. Honestly this is a mess and we barely touched it. Burrito was subpar. Not worth the money at all.

    Todo very good, tacos de tripa were just as crispy I requested. The staff is nice and very attentive to us,

    Swung by to pick up orders of tacos & quesadillas to-go. I came with my mom who was unfamiliar with the dishes & the person taking orders kindly explained the different options. I'm not sure I know any other place that would give you 3 decently large prawns per $6 taco (which also has steak), which feels like great value to me & it was also delicious! They also do catering, so I'd keep them in mind for any catering needs!

So delicious every single time and this time was no different. There's limited parking and you can either order inside or at the taco truck. There are areas to sit and wait for your order and tables to eat at. I ordered three al pastor tacos. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. So good as always. I literally scarfed my tacos down with salsa and grilled onions. My friend ordered a carne asada burrito which he said was super filling and the perfect amount of food. While I'm in town, I'll be here whenever I crave tacos.

I ordered from the truck, then went into the store to collect my drink, and then came back out to sit in the dining area, where I also collected any sauces I wanted. Definitely need to work for your meal and get your steps in. The condiments and sauces are in a cart with plastic cups with lids provided. There weren't that many options of sauces when I ate here but it was fine. The birrias and lengua tacos were so good. All the tacos came with two small tortillas to hold in the heaping amount of meat. The horchata here is had more cream than I'm used to. Like more milk was added or something, not enough spices or flavors added in IMO. Ordering was easy, I felt rushed, but it was the waiting to hear my number that was difficult. Listening for the number in the dining area while the music was blasting was difficult, so it's better to wait by the truck. Parking is limited but there are always cars coming and going so if you can wait a little, a spot will open up.

I ordered Chole Kulcha, Chili Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, Chap, Roomali Roti; Chole Kulcha- I don't have to eat Chole with it. Kulcha itself was very good, crispy and filled with masala. 5 star Chili Chicken- Quality of chicken matters the most. It was very good. 5 star Tandoori Chicken- Quality was great. Juicy, need to eat there only. 5 Star Chap- Need to eat right away. Don't let it wait otherwise it will loose its texture and taste. Taste when it is hot, good mixture of spices and chutneys with it. Onion enhances the flavor of it. 5 Star Roomali Roti- probably the best Roomali roti. Does not matter where they make it. They put butter on it. It does not get chewy or gets dry. 5 Star Sunny and Love they work hard to make it happen. Kudos to them. Noticed, while I was dining, two people came in and expected them to deliver right away and they left. Guys, give them a break, Truck opens at 4:00pm they have to set up the Tandoor it takes time atleast 45 min. To warm up. You can't expect to serve tandoori items right away.

Was excited to find out another Filipino business taking over. I've had my fair share of tusok-tusok experiences in California and I mean it when I say that I am happy this place opened up. I think prices are pretty fair for a bbq stick in the Bay Area. They carry pork bbq, hot dogs, intestine, kwek-kwek, bettamax, pig ears, etc! Although I wish they had fishball or squid ball for even more variety but thats ok. They provide a marinade to brush on while you grill your own BBQ and provide vinegar and another sweet sauce for you to dip it in post-grilling. Overall, the flavor is really good and you can't really go wrong. They carry other items on the menu in which they serve to you such as sisig, pares, siaomai, empanada (available weekends only), lumpia, melon juice, etc. And yes they have rice! I wish I took pictures of the food we ordered but the kids got to it first while we were bbqing. We went on a Thursday evening so it wasn't too crowded but they still kept the party going with karaoke and music. I could imagine the place being full on weekends. The parking could also get tricky in that area if full too. They take cash, Zelle, and card (with surcharge). The grill is located inside in the center of the restaurant so it gets pretty smoky inside even with all the doors open and vents running. So expect to smell like delicious bbq coming out lol.

The total turned out to be $50 dollars with only one dish, including tax and tip. The dish itself was nothing crazy, the flavor was there but considering the hype I think I was a little underwhelmed.

Sometimes they provide green tomatillo sauce on top of the traditional orange sauce, which is great for cutting through the grease and cheese as it's tangy and sweet.

For the quality and generosity you get, these are well worth the price (Crab - $10, Vampiro - $8), and I was quite full after these two. Very fast service too, even during busy afternoons.
